I usually like to play 2 minute turns, but league matches can require a bunch of thinking so I can see playing 4 minutes also, so i'll leave it to the coaches to decide how long turns are, please vote so I can adjust the rules of the league accordingly.

PostSubject: 2-4 min. option   2 or 4 minute turns poll I_icon_minitimeTue Jan 03, 2012 5:15 am

Thanks admin for the option. I am much like yourself with regards to enjoying the 2 minute game, but when it comes to competitions that bit of extra time can help and make for a more relaxing and enjoyable game with perhaps a little banter whilst playing. So it's 4 mins for me but wont be too dissapointed if it's just 2. After all that was what it was originally, so the change to 4 would just be a bonus. Thanks once again admin. Good job

PostSubject: The functional four minutes :)   2 or 4 minute turns poll I_icon_minitimeTue Jan 03, 2012 10:35 am

With regards to personal internet lag, and having to wait for each ( piece/player ) to resolve its action before moving another, and all the little mouse clicks we must do ( to choose dice and determine follow up ) where if we were playing the actual board game are almost instinctive, All! of those things adds up to a bit more time spent just in the interface of this game. Add in the extra thinking and social aspect of the game... you have turns that if on a two minute timer would be cutting it close to a turn over, and the only argument I've heard against four minute turns is that the game " takes too long "... Personally I feel its more beneficial to have longer turns that are more complete and enjoyable for all the players to focus on the game... rather than to run out of time because one player cant react as fast as another. I like having the ability to survey the field determine my blocks and make my actions ( rushing through the process just means there's more opportunity to make mistakes ). We all know that not every turn is going to last the full four minutes or two minutes, because of failed actions and turn-overs, but i can assume that there's been at least one time where each one of us has said " AHHHH! if only i had one more block! " So in conclusion I feel the four minute turn , even though some may feel it drags the game on a bit, is much better in the long run for internet leagues.

Usually I play 2min turns, but that's in the public open leagues where there are lots of disconnectors, insulters, cheaters, laggers, etc.

In a fair play environment, which this league hopefully is (and in many tight situations, regardless of league/opponent/cheats), I'd find 4mins very acceptable/nice, as well.

Maybe leave it up to the coaches if they want to play 2 or 4 mins?

If that can vary from match to match, that is. Smile

(Almost no experience in private leagues yet. Smile)

Why can't I vote on this thing? Anyway, I'd like 4 mins per turn as still new and I spend a fair bit of time fighting with the interface and trying to recognize my players.

I think it has been succinctly put re the pros and cons in the previous posts so no elaboration here, simply putting my hand up for 4.
